MILWAUKEE -- The man suspected of abducting a 17-year-old girl at gunpoint was arrested Thursday afternoon in the 1900 block of West Capitol Drive. Police said Kavin Nesbit was taken into custody without incident. The teen, Alexis Flynn, was located late Wednesday morning in a parking lot near North 11th Street and West Atkinson Avenue, about two blocks from where she'd last been seen a day earlier, Asst. Chief Steve Caballero said. She was uninjured but "scared," the assistant chief said. Nesbit, fled out a window of a vacant apartment unit on the 1100 block of West Atkinson Avenue as police moved in, Caballero said. During Wednesday's news conference, police said they were still investigating the initial information of an armed kidnapping. During their investigation, detectives discovered that Flynn and Nesbit had known each other for two months. Caballero told reporters that a third party contacted Flynn on Tuesday night and later told police that it did not seem as though Flynn was in danger.WISN 12 News asked Caballero why the "critical missing" alert released late Tuesday did not include information about the possibility that a gun was used. "One of the things that we took into consideration was that third-party contact we had with her last night," he said. "When that contact happened, we felt OK and we need to keep investigating. As the night went on, that contact diminished and that's why that went out." Anyone with information is asked to call Milwaukee police at 414-935-7360.
